Yes.  The problem is really exists as you has decribed.
And if a listen socket is made nonblocking just before select() then
a new accept()ed socket is nonblocking too.

But I do not understand one thing (it's not question to you) - why at all
the mysql folks set nonblocking state after this select() but not before
bind() ?
